The UL has a pretty good article about wild pigs in New Hampshire. This is related to the Corbin Park Hunting Preserve I covered in another blog entry a while back. New Hampshire has a documented wild boar population in the southwestern part of the state and wildlife biologists are becoming increasingly concerned. Brought to [...]

Looks like the geese are not willing to move along.   Though efforts to harass a group of about a dozen geese settled at Hedgehog Park seem to be disturbing the birds, Salem Recreation Director Chris Dillon said the flock could stay put until the end of the month while they finish molting their feathers.

The problem is, the pumpkins matured about two months too early. “It’s one of those bizarre [...]

Five people were hospitalized, park manager Ken Loughlin said. The jellyfish, about 50 pounds and the diameter of a large hubcap, [...]

There is one Republican that I am happy to endorse, and that’s my friend Bruce MacMahon. He is for marriage equality, small government and he’s pro-gun. In short, he’s the perfect candidate! Alas, I don’t live in his district. But I have made a donation to his campaign and I urge you to donate too. [...]
